From Humble Beginnings...

On April 1, 1966, Pat Godwin came home from work and told his wife, Judy, that he had delivered his last case of soft drinks. Judy yelled, “April Fools!” Pat said, “It may be April fools Day, but I will not be going back.” They had two toddlers at that time, and Judy had a job as a cashier at a local grocery store. Each day, Pat would unplug the electric stove and plug in his welder and go to work.

The business grew to what it is today — the nation’s largest and most successful family owned and operated truck equipment manufacturer, with nearly half a million square feet under roof.

Get the best quality, period.

Paint & Primer

Godwin Manufacturing Company is one of only three dump body manufacturers in the industry that finishes their bodies in thermoset powder coat paint and primer. The other manufacturers are Godwin’s sister companies Galion-Godwin Truck Body Company and Williamsen-Godwin. Powder coat paint and thermoset powder coat zinc primer are both standard equipment on all Godwin carbon steel bodies. When you purchase a Godwin dump body, it leaves the facility with a finished coating that has been lab tested and certified by SAE 117-B accelerated salt spray test for no less than 4000 hours using 5% salt solution (ocean water is 3%). Industry-standard paint and primer processes don’t even come close. Powder coating is also superior in abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and chip resistance. Not only is powder coating superior in quality, but it’s also safer for the environment. Godwin’s powder coat paint and primer process produces no VOCs, or HAPs and generates no hazardous waste. A zinc-primed and powder-coated body is a cost-effective alternative to stainless and aluminum bodies in environments where corrosion is a major concern.
